Crossing Niagara ON II Bicycle.

y Buffalo special says: Alphonso King
OF Now York this afternoon successfully
accomplished the feat of crossing the
Niagara torrent below the cataract on n
water bicycle. One trip was made from
the American to Canadian shore in four
and II half minutes, and, contrary to OK
pectation, tho rapids did not capsize the
novel craft. The apparatus consisted of
two long zinc cylinders for buoyancy,
and tho propelling power was a bicycle
wheel with small paddles attached.
When mounted on the machine the
tubes sank SO low in the water that King
appeared to be riding a regular wheel
across The gorge. lie wore Il high hat, n
Prince Albert coat and rubber leggings,
the latter being the only protection from
the water. A boat load Of reporters,
rowcd by Tom Conroy, the noted guide,
went along to rescue King in case he
capSiHcd. Tho current carried him
~diagonaily III the direction of the Whirl-
pool Rapids, but he had sufficient con
troll of tho bicycle to succeed in tho per-
tormgucc. Several thousand persons,
including Prince Dcyanwongso and the
other Siameso visitors, saw the feat and
chccrcd when it was accomplished. DIR.

Robbed and Murdered.

ATLANTA, August 15.-Thc body o;
Luke Mcnamara, q baker, was found on
the railroad yesterday, horribly mutilatcd
A hole supposed to have been made by a
bullet and two gashcs supposed to have
been made by a knife were found on the
body. Late Saturday night Mcnamara
was in the city drinking and started to
walk homo. He then had money in his
pocket, but the money was gone when the
body was found. The impression gained
ground that the man had been killed and
robbed and placed on the railroad track.
Two negroes found in tn" locality were ar.
rested and blood was found on the clothing
of me. They deny their guilt, but are
hcld. The body was so badly mutilated
that the hole and gashcs could not be posi-
lively identified as the bullet and knife

Cicrgymen's Sore Threats.

An English surgeon claims TO have
discovered the cause of clergymen's sore
Threats. No other speakers arc affected
III this way, and he has come TO the con
ciusion that the malady is induced by
speaking down to q congregation from
an elevated pulpit, thereby depressing
the vocal organs and causing irritation
and congestion. If clergymen would
hold the head erect and speak up they
would never have throat trouble, and
oven if already suffering to some extont
they may cure themselves by speaking
in a right position. There are bad habits
of phonation, breathing, etc., which q
good teacher can easily correct, but the
bending forward of the head and hang
ing over the sermon while reading it is
worst of all, and nny man can correct
himself in it.-Living Church.

The United States Clerkship.

A better choice for the clerkship Of the
United States courts could not have been
made by tie judges than that of Doc
Hillery Hart. The position WAS not
sought by him, aud it is doubtful even
if he had ever thought about filling the
place. Thus, once for rarity, the public
service, 10y an accident, has secured the
benefit of servant who has all the re-
quisites that go to make good officer.
Judge Pardee, at New Orleans, and
Judge Turner, at Ell Paso, united on Mr..
j. z. Hart, our efficient district clerk, to
take the position. Mr.. Hart, however,
declined the honor, stating that he had
been elected by the people to fill the posi-
tion he occupies, and his duty to them
WAS to complete mis- term. The two judges
then, and in a surprisingly short time,
nominated Mr.. Doc Hilery Hart, a
younger brother of Mr.. J. p Hart. Hill
lery, as his friends call him, has been in
the district clerks Office for several years.
He is methOdicaI, correct aud clear
headed in all that he does Strictly sober
and attentive to business, he will prove
himself we'll worthy of all the confidence
that has been placed in him.
